- Description:
- Consists of correspondence and documents related to a survey carried out by labor and civil rights organizations in Georgia that found violations of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by the Georgia State Employment Service. Includes correspondence of E.T. Kehrer with Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz and Assistant Secretary of Labor Stanley Ruttenberg on the investigation into Employment Service, discussion of survey tools and metrics for measuring discrimination, and promotional materials collected from the Employment Service.
The records, 1964-1979, of the Southern Office of the AFL-CIO Civil Rights Department consist primarily of correspondence and related reports, surveys, statements, and newspaper clippings. Much of the correspondence is between Director E.T. (Al) Kehrer and various AFL-CIO departments, notably his superiors Don Slaiman (1965-1974) and William Pollard (1974-1979). There is also substantial correspondence between Kehrer and the AFL-CIO state and city labor councils in the South; apprenticeship and training programs; a wide range of groups and persons concerned with community action and social reform issues, principally in the field of civil rights; and political figures. - External Identifiers:
